Do you have schizophrenic relatives?

Post Reply New Topic

I have an uncle with schizophrenia. He lives alone somewhere in Oregon. Any body else?

my grand-mothers brother was schizophrenic. But he died before i was born, so i never got to know him

My nephew is paranoid schizophrenic. He has been committed to a hospital after serving a term in prison. It breaks my heart but the truth of the matter is he has a violent past and is potentially dangerous.

I have an Aunt who is Schizophrenic. She lives with my grandmother and I don't know her very well. She seems normal to me except that she likes to spend a lot of time alone.

One of my mom's sisters has it and I haven't seen her since I was eight. She lives in a group home. Last time I saw her she was driving and living in her own apartment with her two kids. My mom and her went out a lot and we visited her at her apartment when we were in Wisconsin together. But she got worse since then because she quit taking her medicine every time she was doing better thinking she didn't need them anymore. Now she no longer drives, takes care of herself and she lives in a group home.

Yes, on both my father and mother sides of the family (my mother went through an acute paranoid schizophrenia phase years ago)

Well, I'm currently diagnosed with a form of it, and also both my parents had it, and some distant relatives. Other relatives of mine have major depression and bipolar.

I had a Grandfather who had Schizophrenia. He was actually my favorite Grandfather. He was related by marriage and not blood, but that meant nothing to me. He took some anti psychotic medication I think and he worked 5 days a week until he retired. He was a wonderful quiet man unless he found something funny, then he laughed with his whole being.

My uncle.

a school shrink once wrote about me [i peeked at his notes], saying i had schizoid traits. my late father told me that in his childhood he had some "crazy" relatives who would do something like act up at public places like in a restaurant, where one person might slap another person hard enough to knock him off of his chair, and as the victim writhed on the ground, the others would laugh uproariously at him.

i have a second-cousin with schizophrenia

No, but my grandfather (on my mom's side) had dementia toward the end of his life, and it involved delusions and hallucinations.

My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

My father's mother is schizophrenic. She was given ECT in the '70s and became basically a moving vegetable after that.

Yes, an aunt, she opened London's first city farm in the 60's or something

And her goat ate my jacket when I was five. I cried Cause I was still in it at the time

I'm not used to creatures taking chunks out of my arm

my grandmother is schizophrenic
